Sentence examples for wide breeding from inspiring English sources

The rufous-collared sparrow (Z. capensis) has an exceptionally wide breeding distribution: from Mexico and Caribbean islands to Tierra del Fuego.

Although BayesB has the potential for the development of more faithful genetic models, and so seems the method of choice for estimating genome wide breeding values (GW-EBV), its calculation requires the use of computer intensive MCMC techniques.

We used a genomic relationship matrix in a double hierarchical generalized linear model to estimate genome-wide breeding values and genetic parameters.

These dense marker genotypes can be used to predict genome-wide breeding values using genomic selection (e.g. [ 1, 2]).

Estimated genome-wide breeding values for the selection candidates for SIB_TRAIT were obtained by summing the effects of the markers times the standardised genotypes times a regression coefficient to transform the GEBV from the binary data scale to the continuous data: (2) G E B V i (SIBTRAIT ) = b ∑ j n X i j a j.

Here, we investigated the reliability of predicting genome-wide breeding values based on population-wide linkage disequilibrium information, based on identity-by-descent relationships within the known pedigree, and to what extent linkage disequilibrium information improves predictions based on identity-by-descent genomic relationship information.

Our findings may explain why the prediction equations derived for one breed may not predict accurate genome-wide breeding values when applied to other breeds, since family structures differ among breeds.

The reptile, a west African dwarf capable of growing to 2m in length, was part of a Europe-wide breeding programme.

Based on the obtained accuracy of genome-wide breeding values, 985 and 541 independent chromosome segments affecting the mean and environmental variance of SCS, respectively, were identified.

The main objective of this study was to unravel the genetic architecture of the mean and environmental variance of somatic cell score (SCS) by identifying genome-wide associations for mean and environmental variance of SCS in dairy cows and by quantifying the accuracy of genome-wide breeding values.

THEM wrote computer modules for genome-wide breeding value estimation and for Fisher-Wright populations.
